Hope this helps.

What board to use?
I used this board and it was perfect for me https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B07LBNXDR9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Which markers?
After doing lots of trials, trust me these are costly but worth the money
https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B0006HXJFK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am not promoting the brands, but I am suggesting board, because this was a link provided by the GMAT people itself, as per EGMAT post.

and markers, I tried multiple markers and settled for this, why?
1)The diameter of marker is similar to pen.
2) The tip of marker is hard, for a person like me, who put pressure while writing, many local cheap markers wont work.
3) Tip of marker is not big, so you can actually practice and learn to adjust.
Pro tip:- Dont keep the marker open, if you are not using it.

When should you book your slot?
Only when you are scoring your target score consequently, else you may or may not reach the goal. However its upto you.

what to do before online test?
1. Make sure you practice using markers and board. dry markers, dry eraser and white board
2.Make sure you book your slot at time of day when you actually give mocks usually
3.Have your valid passport ready
4.Perform system check. read all the terms and conditions

During the test day?
1. You will login to mba.com 20 mins prior to schedule
2.Clean your place of exam and keep things out of your reach
3.You will be asked to upload photos of work space all four sides
4. Photo of your passport
5. your face, sample is shown face should cover 80% of photo

What to expect while giving test?
1. You are being watched
2.Make sure no one is present on the day of your test at home
3. No sounds
4. No electronics nearby
5. Proper power supply
6. good internet >2mbps

What not to do?
Do not mumble
Do not use paper pen etc
Do not read out
Do not look here and there

Pro tip:- Proctor will let you know if he wants to know something

One break before IR.

Finally Please feel free to PM, happy to help.

I gave gmat this weekend. So you have 2 options. When you start checkin it will ask you to add phone no. If you add you will get link via text to add your photo, your ID and your surrounding. You need to then take out your phone out of your reach.

If you dont provide phone no you can select I dont have my phone with me option and then you can show everything via Webcam to the proctor once asked.

Do not worry. The test proctor will use your webcam to take pictures and you will have to show everything related to your room, whiteboard ( remember to show the backside of the whiteboard), marker, and pen. Just be sure that you have a good webcam, keyboard, mouse, and the internet (Microphones are optional). They will chat with you in between the exam if they find any problem.

Switch off your phone and place it somewhere , so that no one can disturb.

Before giving the exam, clean your room and have water bottle with you because there will be no break between quant and verbal.

If possible, be alone in the house because any outside noise will disturb you during the exam.

Just do not panic. Breathe heavily before the exam start.

I am sure you will clear this exam. Remember this is just an exam.

Best of Luck

You can pickup your laptop and show the proctor around.Dont think you need any additional mic and webcam. He will let you know if he needs any additonal details from you.

Yes you can use external mouse.

But the policies are still unclear to me. (I am preparing alone and have no fellow mba aspirants to refer or consult;that's why I am asking such a stupid question ;pardon me for the same)

Still my doubts are unclear

1.i am going to use laptop, so is it compulsory to have external microphone or external webcame other than the ones with laptop.

2.how will I take the photos for authentication (mobiles are not allowed).

Mobile is allowed until authentication, and uploading photos.
Laptop internal camera and mic will be sufficient, please perform system check provided in MBA.COM

Thanks a lot prateek for being so patient and helpful..

1.I am going to use my laptop for this exam rather than a personal desktop computer. As you said in last post good webcam, good keyboardand good mouse are must for exam . So having a laptop would be suffice?(obviously if my webcam is working fine) Or do I have to use additional or external webcam .

2.With laptop can i use external wireless mouse also.

Only for authentication, once it is done, you will have to keep it away

Well you can if you dont move away from your seat. But the timer will keep going. So you are losing the time you decide to sit calmly.

You have got only 30 seconds between 2.
So, I managed to have 2 mins before final answer and submitted last question by simply sitting calm and prepping my mind for verbal.

Hi all.
I have done my system check and taken care of the other requirements for at-home online GMAT.
Can I book the slot for the next hour whenever I feel ready?
